Financial Modeling Fundamentals and Three Statement Modeling

Description

Delegates will learn how to model and integrate the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow of a fast food business using Excel. In addition to learning the steps necessary to build a three statement financial model, delegates will also cover how to build models accurately and efficiently through a series of best practice modeling rules. Delegates also learn how to stress-test the assumptions used, to check their work efficiently and to document it.

Through the process of building a more complex three statement model, delegates are taught how to model operating cash and calculate interest using average debt and average cash balances. The class will address in detail how to work with intentional circular references.

The issue of non-intentional circular references is covered and delegates are taught modeling rules that are designed to help avoid them. The session is designed to expose delegates to different three statement modeling styles: multi-sheet, tower, and different income statement layouts. Exposure to a mix of modeling styles will help prepare them to work on in-house models or models they may inherit from other finance professionals.

Learning outcomes• How to model and integrate income statement,

balance and cash flow• Best practice modeling rules• Stress test assumptions• Model operating cash and calculate interest• Using intentional circular references• Issues of non-intentional circular references• Different three statement modeling styles

Valuation Fundamentals and DCF Valuation

Location Madrid

Level Advanced

No. of days 1

Time 9:00am – 5:00pm

Price EUR 600

Description

The session lays the foundations to build a solid understanding of corporate valuation in the context of investment banking. The most common valuation methodologies are introduced, explaining the difference between a company’s fundamental value, and how much an acquirer would pay for the business. The concepts of enterprise value and equity value are explained, using simple but rigorous exercises. Finally, the basics of multiple valuation and discounted cash flow valuation are introduced. Exercises are used throughout the session.

Delegates learn how to build a discounted cash flow valuation model. The session starts with an overview of the valuation methodology, and the steps required in setting up a valuation model. We then focus on the calculation of free cash flow. A detailed ratio analysis is used to establish the reasonableness of the forecasts and to identify when the target company reaches steady state. We analyze the weighted average cost of capital, calculate terminal values, using both the exit multiple method and the perpetuity growth method. We discount the free cash flows to arrive at enterprise values and calculate the implied share price. Once the valuation is complete delegates perform several checks on the analysis using key ratios, and sensitivity and scenario analysis.

of investment banking• Common valuation methodologies• Enterprise value and equity value• Multiple valuation and discounted cash flow
